The "Etherium merge moment" is entirely different and it irks me to see it compared favorably with this project. It didn't 'solve' proof of work. It assigned positive value to past environmental harms. It prevents more proof of work, but doesn't solve past harms.

The only 'solution' (more a mitigation) to Etherium proof of work's environmental harms is to devalue it.

Unlike your example, this project actually seems to be a net positive for society that wasn't built on top of unnecessary harms.
